Get Introduction -> Fuel Requirements Guide for Hyundai Ix35 SUV Second Generation (2016-2023)

Introduction

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Gasoline engine

Unleaded

Leaded (if equipped)

CAUTION

For some countries, your vehicle is

designed to use leaded gasoline.

When you are going to use leaded

gasoline, we recommend that you

ask an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

whether leaded gasoline in your

vehicle is available or not.

For Europe

NEVER USE LEADED FUEL.The

use of leaded fuel is detrimental

to the catalytic converter and

will damage the engine control

system’s oxygen sensor and

affect emission control.

For the optimal vehicle performance,

we recommend you use unleaded

gasoline which has an octane rating

of RON (Research Octane Number)

95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or

higher. (Do not use methanol blend-

ed fuels.)

Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is

same with unleaded one.

Never add any fuel system

cleaning agents to the fuel tank

other than what has been speci-

fied (We recommend that you

consult an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer for details.)

You may use unleaded gasoline with

an octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI

87-90 but it may result in slight per-

formance reduction of the vehicle.

Gasoline containing alcohol and

methanol

Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and

ethanol (also known as grain alco-

hol), and gasoline or gasohol con-

taining methanol (also known as

wood alcohol) are being marketed

along with or instead of leaded or

unleaded gasoline.

Except Europe

WARNING

Your new vehicle is designed to use

only unleaded fuel having an Octane

Rating of RON (Research Octane

Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)

87 or higher. (Do not use methanol

blended fuels.)

• Do not "top off" after the noz-

zle automatically shuts off

when refueling.

Do not use gasohol containing more

than 10% ethanol, and do not use

gasoline or gasohol containing any

methanol. Either of these fuels may

cause drivability problems and dam-

age to the fuel system, engine control

system and emission control system.

• Always check that the fuel cap

is installed securely to pre-

vent fuel spillage in the event

of an accident.

Your new vehicle is designed to

obtain maximum performance with

UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini-

mize exhaust emissions and spark

plug fouling.

Introduction

Discontinue using gasohol of any

kind if drivability problems occur.

Other fuels

Use of MTBE

Using fuels such as

- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,

HYUNDAI recommends avoiding

fuels containing MTBE (Methyl

Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) in

your vehicle.

Vehicle damage or driveability prob-

lems may not be covered by the

manufacturer’s warranty if they result

from the use of:

- MMT (Manganese, Mn) contained

fuel,

- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and

1. Gasohol containing more than

10% ethanol.

Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0%

vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight)

may reduce vehicle performance and

produce vapor lock or hard starting.

- Other metalic additives contained

fuels,

2. Gasoline or gasohol containing

methanol.

may cause vehicle and engine dam-

age or cause plugging, misfiring,

poor acceleration, engine stalling,

catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,

life cycle reduction, etc.

3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

CAUTION

Your New Vehicle Limited

Warranty may not cover dam-

age to the fuel system and any

performance problems that are

caused by the use of fuels con-

taining methanol or fuels con-

taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)

Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp

(MIL) may illuminate.

Never use gasohol which con-

tains methanol. Discontinue

use of any gasohol product

which impairs drivability.

✽

NOTICE

Damage to the fuel system or per-

formance problem caused by the use

of these fuels may not be covered by

your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Diesel engine must be operated only

on commercially available diesel fuel

that complies with EN 590 or compa-

rable standard. (EN stands for

"European Norm"). Do not use

marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or

non-approved fuel additives, as this

will increase wear and cause dam-

age to the engine and fuel system.

The use of non-approved fuels and /

or fuel additives will result in a limita-

tion of your warranty rights.

• Observe all regulations regarding

Fuel Additives

HYUNDAI recommends that you use

unleaded gasoline which has an

octane rating of RON (Research

Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock

Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or

Octane Rating of RON (Research

Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock

Index) 87 or higher (except Europe).

Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is

used in your vehicle. If two types of

diesel fuel are available, use summer

or winter fuel properly according to

the following temperature conditions.

For customers who do not use good

quality gasolines including fuel addi-

tives regularly, and have problems

starting or the engine does not run

smoothly, one bottle of additives

added to the fuel tank at every

15,000km (for Europe)/ 5,000km

(except Europe). Additives are avail-

able from your authorized HYUNDAI

dealer along with information on how

to use them. Do not mix other addi-

tives.

• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type

diesel fuel.

• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type

diesel fuel.

Watch the fuel level in the tank very

carefully : If the engine stops through

fuel failure, the circuits must be com-

pletely purged to permit restarting.

Introduction

Biodiesel

CAUTION

Commercially supplied Diesel blends

of no more than 7% biodiesel, com-

monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be

used in your vehicle if Biodiesel

meets EN 14214 or equivalent spec-

ifications. (EN stands for "European

Norm"). The use of biofuels exceed-

ing 7% made from rapeseed methyl

ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester

(FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester

(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed-

ing 7% with biodiesel will cause

increased wear or damage to the

engine and fuel system. Repair or

replacement of worn or damaged

components due to the use of non

approved fuels will not be covered by

the manufactures warranty.

Do not let any gasoline or water

enter the tank. This would make

it necessary to drain it out and

to bleed the lines to avoid jam-

ming the injection pump and

damaging the engine.

• Never use any fuel, whether

diesel, B7 biodiesel or other-

wise, that fails to meet the lat-

est petroleum industry speci-

fication.

• Never use any fuel additives

or treatments that are not rec-

ommended or approved by

the vehicle manufacturer.

CAUTION

Diesel Fuel

It is recommended to use the

regulated automotive diesel

fuel for diesel vehicle equipped

with the DPF system.

If you use diesel fuel including

high sulfur (more than 50 ppm

sulfur) and unspecified addi-

tives, it can cause the DPF sys-

tem to be damaged and white

smoke can be emitted.
